Getting children to read classic books, even hilarious ones like Pinocchio, is not always easy but the stakes couldn’t be higher. They’re our best bet for ever achieving our dreams for self-realization, rebirth, peace, redemption and goodwill to all mankind. A good boy was what Geppetto was trying to carve out of his outrageously impossible, willful puppet. What classic books come to tell us is that the paradise-on-earth we dream of is never easy but can always happen.

With more than ever readers, available books, gift-giving grandparents, creative teachers, informed parents and technological tools, we should be able to progress:
– the Gutenberg Project offers free e-book versions of all books in print
– you can download excerpts from movies of classics on devices; e.g. a mother I know used  Frozen (from a Hans Christen Andersen story) to organize a birthday party
– a variety of audiovisual resources can be used in classrooms…

Author Dyane Forde

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to introduce today my friend and a very talented author: Dyane Forde

Dyane recently released her fabulous book The Purple Morrow. The Purple Morrow is a (light) Fantasy aimed at an adult audience. At the end of this post you will see the book cover, read a blurb from the book and there will also be information on how you can get your own copy.

Dyane Forde’s love of writing began with an early interest in reading and of words in general. She was always amazed at how linking words together in different ways had unexpected and pleasing results on others. People enjoyed what she created! This sparked a life-long desire to write all types of things, from short stories, novels, flash fiction, poetry…she enjoys trying genres and forms of writing which are different from what she’s used to; every story or…

Name: Gage

Author: Tess Oliver

Pages: 214

Rating: XXXXX

Review: Great read if…you enjoyed the other books in the series, enjoy standalones, burly men, independent women, finding yourself, starting over, changes, following your heart, hot sex, and HEA!

Side Note: Tess does not disappoint. Gage was cloaked in laughs and hot sex, but underneath was a sensitive side and topics that I think mirrored Gage in a perfect way. There were a few twists and turns, but nothing on the too dangerous side, more like on the too dangerous for your heart side. Gage was wonderful and loveable and this is a must read not only if you are Tess fan, but if you are a fan of finding your true love.
